Moving Windows 7 Pro from old Intel system to 'new' AMD system w/ NVMe

[WinXSucks]

Team,

[short version]
Legacy Win7Pro OS system w/ Installed software is trying to relocate uptown to 'new' AMD Ryzen based system w/ Radeon GFX, USB3 and M.2 NVMe drives.

====

OKay, I am trying to get ahead of the eventual failure of my existing laptop, I am not fond of Windows X. So I am trying to migrate my Windows 7 Pro system and all of the installed software on a custom laptop to a AMD Ryzen based system with a mix of SATA and M.2 drives. I have at my disposal professional copies of EaseUS Partition Master, Macrium Reflect and FlashBoot Pro.

So far the furthest I have gotten is to copy the legacy system onto a SATA drive [not the NVMe] which will boot but then drops mouse and keyboard control.

I had planned to install W7Pro onto the SATA drive and then update Win7Pro w/ the hot fixes to support the NVMe drive. Then use Reflect to make another image w/ the correct drivers and then copy the image to the Sabrent 1T M.2 NVMe drive. Now, I am just lost.

Any suggestions? Has anyone ever dome this? The real issue is that I do not want to reinstall sofware, some of which WILL not run under W10.

Thanks !!

Going from intel to amd is going to give problems with so many drivers nit the same you end up wasting more time than doing a clean install and there is a good chance it wont activate

It isn't that easy.
New hardware needs some drivers (SATA, USB3.x, MVMe...) that are not on the Win 7 installation disk. You have to add those drivers to the Win 7 installation disk. I did it to be able to install Win 7 on my computer. SIW2 has made it a little more easy using his script. SIW2 also knows all the tricks and limitations, specially on laptops.
